So, Verizon says this in their Terms of Service:
"Anyone using more than 5 GB per line in a given month is presumed to be using the service in a manner prohibited above, and we reserve the right to immediately terminate the service of any such person without notice."
This is attached to a plan with this feature:
"Includes Unlimited Data Usage"
Unlimited? I don't call death-by-exceeding-5GB an unlimited data usage plan.
We use Amazon S3 for data backup for all of our servers. Each individual server gets its own bucket in S3. Actually, it gets two (-backups and -chunks). Apparently there is a limit to the number of buckets you're allowed to have in S3.
So now the last server I added can't be backed up. Greaaat.
I'm in the process of merging a few junk server backups into a single pair of buckets to see how it works. If it works well, I'm just going to merge *all* of the servers into a single pair of buckets. I don't like it, but I'm not sure I have much of a choice. I don't want to stop using S3 for backup (super cheap, easy, and reliable).
Joy and her sister watch Private Practice on ABC. This week they missed it and hoped that I could find it online for them. Sure enough, I found it... on ABC's website. That'd be great, except they specifically don't support Linux. Everyone, except Brent, in town that I have direct (or near-direct) access to their computers uses Linux.
Last time this happened, I wiped my laptop's hard drive and installed Windows so they could see one stinking episode. How absurd is it that Hulu.com can get it right so well (it works amazingly well in Linux), but ABC is moving in the wrong direction completely? Supposedly ABC's streaming video worked in Linux at some point in the past.
*growl*
